Palo Alto Travel Tips
Palo Alto travel tips courtesy of GeckoGo
  • The greatest little downtown area with restaurants to fit any budget. Although, as a resident, I prefer California Ave over the much more touristy University Ave. On California Ave there is definitely fewer people but with the same quality of restaurants. • Cort, CMT [Extraordinaire] Vote 4 CHANGE-OBAMA 08
  • Be sure to visit PA's mall -- upscale but not too big. • Leigh M.
